Advanced Evidence picks up where Evidence leaves off. It will focus on certain advanced doctrinal topics such as scientific evidence, expert testimony, and privileges. In addition to examining federal law governing these topics, this course will also examine state law variations, with a particular emphasis on Minnesota practice. The course has a significant research and writing component -- the majority of the grade will be based on several short papers. Students may take up to 41 credits under the 83-credit requirement (43 under the 86-credit requirement) toward their J.D. degree through courses that are designated "distance education courses."A distance education course is one in which students are separated from all faculty members for more than one-third of the instruction and the instruction involves the use of technology to support regular and substantive interaction between the students and all faculty members, either synchronously or asynchronously.
